2016 HONDA ACCORD — Complaint #2169398
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about BACK OVER PREVENTION:DISPLAY FUNCTION filed January 23, 2026
NHTSA complaint #2169398 (ODI reference 11713001) concerns a 2016 HONDA ACCORD and was filed on January 23, 2026. The owner reports the failure occurred on June 28, 2025. The report was geocoded to California based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as back over prevention:display function, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same HONDA ACCORD cohort independently describe similar back over prevention:display function failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2016 HONDA ACCORD shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
2016 Honda Accord- The audio navigation unit creates loud screeching noise even when volume is turned down to 0, making the car impossible to drive. I had to remove the fuse to disable the unit which also resulted downing the car backup camera as the whole display unit went down. I placed order in July 2025 and got delivering of back order unit in Dec 2015 after 6 months of wait. Repeatedly, keep sending emails to Honda as its a security risk if I have to drive the car w/o a mandatory backup camera. But still replacement/ back order took 6 months. Total cost of replacement of new Audio Nav unit - $1700. Asking honda to reimburse since as per Honda internal notes which dealership shared/ Google its a common problem with Honda accord 2016-2017. Honda saying right now there is no safety recall as per NHTSA for this and wont support the claim. Reporting so that other drivers dont have to put themselves into risk due to this and bear the high cost of repairs, if NHT
